I'm convinced it's an inevitability as they can no longer cheaply buy off the entire population, losing their trade leverage & the asset inflation intended for them to chip off of.

UAE just aligned with USA/Israel, and KSA is reportedly seeking a peace agreement similar to the Helsinki agreement outline. With the rise of BRICS and the CIA psyops narrative becoming exposed and beginning to crumble for more and more rational people, hope may not be as empty as it seems!

I have hope for the third world, at least. I'm much more cautious about the fate of the working class in the heart of the imperial core.

I hear you, 100%. Hope springs eternal, if only a glimmer?

So it does. The future isn't set in stone, for better or worse. The empire can do its damnedest to try to delay socialism, but it cannot stop it - of that I remain convinced.
